Ultram: What are you really snorting?
Ultram is used to treat pain that falls in the moderate and moderately severe ranges. Ultram’s active ingredient is tramadol, an opioid medication, but inactive ingredients include ethylcellulose, dibutylsebacate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, sodium stearylfumarate, colloidal silicon dioxide, and polyvinyl alcohol.
How does snorting Ultram affect the body?
Ultram (tramadol) is a central nervous system depressant. Ultram works by binding to the opioid receptors of the brain, which changes the body’s ability to sense pain. Snorting Ultram has effects on the nervous system which include drowsiness, digestive problems, and agitation.
Snorting Ultram to get high
Does Ultram cause euphoria? Not normally, when taken as prescribed. But snorting Ultram can get you high. How? Snorting Ultram results in large doses of tramadol entering the bloodstream very quickly. This exposes you to a higher dose of tramadol than normal. In fact, snorting Ultram delivers tramadol almost immediately to the brain through the nasal tissues. The recommended oral route of administration is definitely safer than snorting Ultram. Snorting any drug raises the risk of adverse side effects. But snorting Ultram can be very serious, causing permanent injury or even death.
Snorting Ultram vs oral
Doctors warn that snorting Ultram is more risky and less effective for treating pain than ingesting it orally. Oral preparations are safer and cause fewer instances of adverse effects, as they require the body to metabolize the ingredients (break them down) in order for tramadol to enter the bloodstream . Snorting Ultram causes a quicker onset of effects, resulting in quicker pain relief. But this quick fix can also send you to the emergency room.
Snorting Ultram side effects
Ultram can cause sleepiness, weakness, and even more frightening symptoms, such as uncontrollable shaking. These are normal side effects of oral ingestion and, while potentially alarming, are not usually dangerous. Severe side effects on Ultram occur more often when the medication is not taken as prescribed or is snorted. These effects include:
- coma
- difficulty breathing
- hallucinations
- heart attack
- seizures
